CORNJLEADS Farmers West of the River Propose for Big Corn Acreage. Kadoka, May 3.—It is but three years since the large majority of our huinesteaders arrived here, but in that nhort time wonders have been accom plished. The live-acre plat was put iuto crop, and the crops which weie raised looked good to the claim hold ers. Tbe faithful few the next year broke more land, however, and the sec oud crop was fully as good an the first. A third wason of good crops fol lowed, and now the farmers are enter ing upon the fourth season. Crop con ditions thus far have been ideal, and the settlers are putting in more than doable the acreage of last year. Tbe Kadoka Press has been making an effort to get an estimate of the acreage of crops to be put in the terri tory tributary to Kadoka and has se cured returns from eighty-three far/n ers. These farmers will put in an acreage of nearly seventy-seven acres each, or 6,865 acres in all. The crops are divided as follows: Wheat. 988 acres oats, 1,496 acres corn, H.104 barley, 199 rye, 8 flax 175 speits, 68 potatoes, 98 alfalfa 86 timothy, 18 clover, 8 trees, 37 other crops. 89. Trees to be planted outside of the acre plots, 10,700. This average of seventy-seven acres is but a fair average of all the farineis living near Kadoka, and on this basis there will be at least 5,000 acres of crops^planted in this vicinity this sea son.

REVIEW OF TRADE Shows Business Prospects Better Than Last Year Brad street's Report. New York, May Hradstreet's Re view of Trade for the week, says: Summed op, tbe situation may be said to be a current trade, wholesale and retail better than last year, but disappointing as a whole, while the one for the futore is still quite mark edly optimistic. Reports from leading industrieH are rather l»etter than for some time past. The business doing and tbe repoits comiDg from the iron and ste'l trades are distinctly better. Low prices have evidently brought oat slumbering orders, and there is talk of the bottom having been touched and a new ascent l)egun. In tbe textile trades, quiet as to tbe present but op timistic as to the future is tbe rule. Cotton goods still lead the rest of the market, but the strength of raw wool seems to point to confidence in finished lines. High prices are l**ing paid in the west for the new wool clip, shear ing of which is active. The leather trades are strong ,sole leather being ac tive and hides higher. Shoe orders are below normal, but improving. Coal is in better demand, and the new agreement for three years in an thracite oeing signed, peace iB ceitain for a long period. Coke isetill weak and low in price. Lumber is irregu lar, despite activity in building, and Houthern production Is slackening. Naval stores are close to or below cost of production. Business failures in tbe United States for the week ending with April 29 were 268, against 247 last week, 282 in this week last year, 163 in 1907,139 in 1906 and 198 in 1900. Failures in Canada for tbe week number 25, against 36 last week and 22 in the like week of 1908. Wheat, including flour,expotts from the United States and Canada for the week ending April 29 aggregate 896, :U2 bushels, against 1,585,778 bushel* last week and 1,620,589 bushels tbis week last year. Cork exports for tbe week are C44, 478 busnels, against 1,080,408 bushels last week and 407,002 bushels in 1898.

CHICAGO MINISTER Makes It Difficult Young Women to Find Mates Choose bigness of heart for Chicago, May :5.—Here are some of the precepts and principles laid down at toe Halsted street institutional church by the Rev. D. D. Vaugban for the young women in his congregation to follow in selecting husbands: Choose a bright mind ratbet than a bright necktie, because you cau buy the necktie afterward. If you are a kitten, do not marry a bulldog. Do not marry a foolish optimist. Do not marry a dyspeptic, bilious man. Do not marry a luan who spends his time chatting around with the girls in stead of preparing himself better to wage life's battles. rather tbun bigness of pocket book. Choose an attractive disposition rather than attractive clothes. Beware of tbe boy with the puppy love. Do not choorn a man who has sown his wild oats. Do not choose a man who lacks pro per consideration for women—a man i who will walk along tne street with a Wiiman and let uer carry a bundle. Be sure to get a teachable man. Be mte to choose a man who can love a woman more than he can love a dog or a horse. Remember that many an ideal lover does not make an ideal husband. Let the man be the head of the bouse. God. when be made Adam, in tended that he should scare away the liouB.the tigern and mice. Tnese remarks were called forth by the propounding of a set of questions to 125 young women of his church as to what qualities they most desired in a husband. Most of tbe young women wanted a husband who would "boss and love tiiern. Beyond that they were not very particular. SEATTLEm SHOW Novel Features of the Alaska Yukon-Pacific Exposition. ITS SITE A FOREST OF FIRS. Complete 8ilk Factory In Daily Opera tion a Part of Japan's Exhibition Eleven Airships of Various Types Great Display of Alaska's Wealth Producing Possibilities. Tbe finishing touches are being put •n the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc exposl tion, which Is to be held at Seattle, Wash., and hundreds of men working under the direction of experienced landscape artists are setting out trees, shrubs and sod, transplanting rose bushes, rhododendron plants and otliei Sowers that will make the exiositton grounds a place of beauty. Blooming flowers of every description will nod toward the towering firs of the forest in which the exposition has been built Seattle declares that the exposition which opens on June 1, will be ready on time, and this means a great deal when the experience of its predeees sors is considered. The majority of the buildings planned for the fair at the outset are either finished or are well along lu the course of construe tlon. An automobile race from New York city to tbe grounds of the exposition will start ou the day the exposition opens. A $2,000 trophy and $5,300 In cash prizes have been offered by Robert Guggenheim of Seattle. Eleven airships of various types have been entered for the airabip show. The exposition is the first worlds fair which has not asked financial as sis a nee of the government. Uncle Sam Is spending $00,000, but is doing it himself on bis own exhibits and buildings. One hundred thousand cactus dahlia plants are used In one single feature of the landscape gardening. In the magnificent display being as sembled by Japan for its exhibition will be a complete silk factory In dally operation. The process will show in detail the history of silk from the worm in the tree to the fluished prod uet. A novel feature to be seen at the ex position will be the display of totem poles from the far north. These Inter esting family or tribal trees will be extensively used in decorative schemes and their peculiar carvings, reciting thr histories of the different tribes, will be of special Interest to visitors. When William II. Seward In behalf of the United States government paid Russia $7,200,000 for Alaska he was spoken of as a dreamer and the pur chase was known as "Seward's folly." At the exposition a pile of virgin gold from Alaska will be exhibited, and tbe one heap of yellow metal will repre sent in actual value more than five sevenths of the purchase price of Alaska. Alaska will appear in an entirely new and different light to tbe visitor to the exposition, and from the land of perpetual snow and Ice, as pictured but a few years ago, a laud will be shown In which gold will not const! tute the only wealth producing possi bilities of the country. Agriculturally Alaska Is destined to become an lm portant factor In the world's food pro duction, and the display of cereals and food stuffs grown in and pegr the Miss BogenVFine MILLINERY SHOWING is now in its full array and the ladies of Madison and vicinity are cordially invited to inspect her most beautiful and great assortment of Tailored and Dress Hats dressing.

The build ing Is of the old California mission de sign and Is a perfect specimen of its kind. Old Hawaiian "meles" will be sung by a band of singing boys from Ha waii during the exposition. Tropical foliage and palms will lend the air of enchantment of the dreamy south Pa cllic. The Alaska-Yukon-Puclfic exposition will be conducted on the dry principle. No liquor or intoxicating beverages of any description will be sold on the grounds or within two miles of tbe ex position. The state of Oregon contributed the first shipment of exhibits to the ex position. It comprised 3,000 boxes of the state's famous apples. A Chinese street, modeled after a well known street of Pekln, will be an interesting feature of the Alaska-Yu kon-l'aelfic exjHJSition. The concession for its production has been granted to a company of wealthy coast Chinese, and agents have been In China for the last year perfecting arrangements for an exhibit complete in every detail. The Sllerian Eskimo exhibit will be composed of tliirty-flve men, women and children from East Cape, Siberia. They will be housed in regular native huts of reindeer skin stretched on frames of driftwood and will live in the same manner in which life Is fol lowed In their far northern home. The display of Implements and various utensils used In the chase and home life will form an interesting exhibit. Stockings With Tassels. The season's novelty in stockings has cunning little silk tassels dangling from the ankle and another pair higher up, reaching to about the top of the shoes. Nothing like these tassels has been seen before on stockings, but just now they are threatening to be come as popular as the Scotch plaids of a few years ago. The tassels certainly give a fantastic touch to an otherwise discreet stocking, for they are loose and each tassel is about an inch long, mado of fine silk and likely to dance and bob about with every step of the wearer. The tassel comes just above the instep and looks well with pumps or low slippers, and the higher tassel gives the effect of a silken Hessian boot. The new stockings are in silk or lisle and have besides the several tassels elaborate embroideries in different col ors or in tones of the color of the stock ing itself. A very pretty design is in the form of an elongated basket filled with flowers and worked in natural colors. The handle of the basket is finished off with the inevitable dancing buiaAla Twelve Hundred Carpenters Out. Providence, R.
